City Notes
- New Delhi: Expect slightly higher retail premiums; check hallmark and invoice for buy-back terms.
- Mumbai: Often competitive pricing — compare making charges across trusted jewellers.
- Bengaluru: Multiple national and local jewellers; verify BIS hallmark and purity stamp.
- Chennai: Traditional designs increase making charges; ask for itemized bills.
- Hyderabad: Strong local demand for 22K jewellery — confirm wastage and making rates for intricate pieces.
- Kolkata: Look for certified assaying and clear buy-back policies, especially for antiques and traditional jewellery styles.
What Drives Today’s Prices
- Global spot gold: International bullion prices set the base; local quotes track global moves with a lag or lead depending on demand.
- INR–USD movement: A stronger rupee generally cushions domestic gold prices; a weaker rupee adds upward pressure.
- Import duty and taxes: Customs duty, GST and cess affect landed cost and thus retail pricing.
- MCX and futures cues: Domestic futures trading can influence short-term retail adjustments.
- Local demand and festivals: Weddings, festivals or seasonal buying can prompt jewellers to adjust premiums and making charges.
Buyer Tips
- Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy jewellery with a BIS hallmark and a clear karat stamp (22K / 24K).
- 24K vs 22K: 24K is pure but softer; 22K is alloyed for durability — choose based on wearability and design.
- Making charges & wastage: These are added to the metal price; get a written breakup and compare per-gram making rates for similar designs.
- Check buy-back and invoice: Confirm jeweller’s buy-back policy, exact weight, purity on invoice and GST applicability to avoid surprises.
FAQs
- Q: Are daily retail rates the same across all jewellers? A: No — jewellers add different premiums, making charges and may quote slightly different rates even within a city.
- Q: How can I verify gold purity? A: Look for the BIS hallmark and the karat stamp on the piece; request an assay certificate for high-value purchases.
- Q: What are making charges? A: Making charges compensate for labour and design complexity; they are separate from the metal price and often non-negotiable for branded pieces.
- Q: When is the best time to buy gold? A: For best pricing, monitor spot gold and INR trends; avoid premium-heavy festival periods if price is the main concern, but consider timing for design availability and occasion needs.
